The prairie-chicken hunter of quar-

What a sound it was and is, to be sure
Is, because it can still be heard from

To the latter-day hunter, who must be
content with quick and distant shot on
the wing, the prairie-chicken stories of
the pioneer hunters must sound like Sc
lections from the Arabian Nights En-
tertainments." In fact, a quarter of
century ago, or perhaps five years fur
Their into the past, few real hunters
stopped to bother with such small and
common game as the pinnated grouse.
But with the rapid thinning out of the
wild turkeys and deer the prairie chicken
came rapidly into favor, and is to-day,
perhaps, the bird most sought by sports
men. So much has it risen in the esti

States have been driven to pass "game

CHINESE MANDARINS.
Their Office and the Buttons Which Indi
cate Their Rank.

Their Office and the Buttons Which Indi-
cate Their Rank.
The Chrese mandarin, with his gorgeous
dress, his glittering button signifying his
rank, and the threefold power of the civil
governor, the military commander and the
judge, is always an interesting figure to the
Western mind. The mandarins life, how
ever, is not all ease and glitter nor is their
power unlimited. They may be deposed at
any time; and as they are held responsible
for all crimes committed in their districts,
and may be banished to Manchuria or For
mosa, for somebody else's offense, they are
seldom entirely at ease.
The mandarins are promoted from the
ranks of the people, after passing with high
credit the severest examinations.
A man may win the rank of mandarin of
the ninth, or lowest rank, and continue to
work at his trade of mason or carpenter.
Above that rank, however, he becomes an
official, but is allowed only the salary that
he mig ht earn as day laborer.
AS matter of practice the mandarins
generally enrich themselves from fees which
they exact from suitors before them. Fol-
lowing the doctrine of the Emperor Kang-hi,
the mandarins make lawsuits before them as
unpleasant as possible Said Kang-hi:
1T is well that all men should have a
wholesome fear of the tribunals. | desire
that all having recourse to the magistrates
be treated merclessly, so that all may dread
to appear before them. Let good citizens
settle their disputes like brothers, submitting
to the arbitration of the elders and mayors
of the communes Let all obstinate suitors
be crushed by the judges for such is their
desert"
After the student has Won the silver but
ton, which is the mark of the ninth, or low
est, grade of mandarins he may persevere
and make himself, by hard study and abil-
ity, mandarin of the first class. AS he
passes up the scale, his insignia are as fol-
lows:
Ninth class mandarin, button of silver
Eighth class, silver button.
Seventh class, gold button.
Sixth class, bone button.
Fifth class, crystal button.
Fourth class, dark blue button.
Third class, a light blue button.
Second class, a light coral button.
First class, dark coral button.
This button is about the size of pigeons
egg, and is placed at the top of the hat ON
ceremonial occasions.
The rank given TO the mandarin, or who
in Chinese is called kuen-the name man
DARN being of Hindoo origin-is not heredi-
tary, except backward. 1t ennObles the re-
The only persons who bear hereditary titles

the members of the imperial family are a

ing-house an elderly deacon and farmer arose
at Wednesday night meeting and asked the
Lord to show him the way to enlighten a
father there present so as to act wisely amld
the great shame and scandal a hayward
daughter had caused him. Though he said
he would mention no names, he might as
well have mentioned the name of Deacon
Evans, for instantly all eyes were turned
toward that rude angular figure in home
spun and all thoughts turned toward the
absent face of his lovely daughter Miriam,
the beauty of the region, the hayward girl
of whom the petitioner to the throne had
spoken. At the close of the meeting Deacon
Evans at once strobe to the side of his
brother deacon, and. while the others stood
by and listened asked him to explain his
PRAYER and the unmistakable glances of the
congregation.

"where is your daughter Miriam?'
"She is at home" said the startled parent;
cor, if she be not, for Heavens sake tell me
what you know of her"
"She is scandal to the church and shame
and sorrow to YOU" said the elder of the two.
''She is the companion of one whom men
loathe and the evil one claims as his own. Dea-
con Evans, your daughter Miriam has been
seen more than once in the company of the
younger of the goddess inmates of "The Pop
ars"-meeting him stealthily by night and
walking with him in the darkness, vainly
imagining that the only eye that saw her
was that of Our Father, whose laws she thus
defies. Judge for yourself, deacon, how lower
than the lowest she has fallen"
what Miriam, my daughter Miriam?'
Deacon Evans almost shouted. "You know
not what you are saying. She has never
merited any displeasure in her life"
But it was true. At that instant the beau
tiful girl whose past has been so sweet that
the gossips had not dared to breathe the
scandal that had come upon her, except in
this manner of coupling the rumor with a
prayer, and whose father thought he knew
her well enough to denounce the accusa-
ton as false was walking in the shadow of
a wall of leafess willows through which the

the perfume of her breath.

MULEY HASSAN.
Some Fresh Biographical Details of the
Ruler of Morocco.

Some Fresh Biographical Details of the
Ruler of Morocco.
There seems to be difference of opinion
as to whether our distinguished contempt
rary, Muley Hassan, Esq. is in the land Of
spirits or still in the land of Morocco.
If Mr.. Hassan were dead the heir-apparent
to power, for the position of Emperor Of
Morocco is great leather.
But no such exult has reached me.
Another thing which throws doubt upon
the report of Muley's death is the fact that
though he is occasionally sick he is oftener
rewiving.
Mr. Hassan was born in 1881 and imme-
dately went into training for the Morocco
business, as his father, the late Sid Moham-
med, designed him to succeed himself in
that profession.
Mr.. Hassan's method of getting head of
those officials who fail to collect as much
tribute as he thinks desirableis very effective
He cuts them Off
These heads are not for publication, but
are guarantee of good faith on the part of
other collectors.
The principal productions of Morocco are
goat skins, olive oil, and pirates.
Dates are also produced, and are exported
in great quantities for the use of almanac
machinists.
To return to the subject of this sketch.
Muley Hassan spoke the Arabic language
until he lost his teeth. After that he pre-
ferred the gum arabic for steady conversation.
But no Moor of this at present.
